Netscape 7 - Page Sizing?

Is there a difference?

Just received an email from a client saying he has loaded Netscape 7 and his site no longer displays properly. Sounds as if images no longer fit on the design line and are wrapping to the next line.

However, he states it displays OK in Exlorer and an earlier Netsape. The design uses percentages for page sizing and layout so I'm puzzled as to what is happening.... I'm also reluctant to download and install NS 7 to test this site, given some of the conflict issues described in these forums.

Does anyone have any knowledge of NS7 handling page sizes, table sizes, cell sizes any differently that other browsers?

Hi austtr,

I don't think that Netscape 7 handles table sizes much differently than other browsers (although, I've found that table sizes are more of a hint to the browser than an absolute rule - if needs be they will expand them).

Your client may have one of Netscapes panes open on the left of his/her screen, which would reduce the available width on the page?
